Happy 3rd Birthday Hunter

It seems like yesterday that i was holding my small little boy for the first time. He was so little and so sick, we had know idea if he was going to make it or not. Hunter is now three years old and doing GREAT. On November 17th we celebrated Hunters 3rd birthday by having a little party at our house. His first "friends" party. He was so excited to invite some of his friends over. Hunter loves Mickey Mouse Playhouse so we decide that would be the theme. When all the kids arrived we ate pizza and then decorated Mickey Mouse cookies and made Mickey Mouse necklace/nametags. After we got beads and frosting everywhere the kids played a quick little game of find plutos bones and then it was present time. Hunter received a lot of great gifts from all his friends. All in all i think it was a great party and am glad we only have to do this twice a year.

Family pictures and more to come

My handsome little men

Hunter loved taking the pictures at a barn

We finally got our family pictures taken. Stefanie did an awesome job and i am very very pleased with the results. She will definitaly be our photographer while we are in the flathead valley. Thanks Stefanie!!

Hunter and Holden did an awesome job. It is so hard for us to get a picture of Hunter smileing. It took the boys a couple of minutes to warm up to Stefanie, but when they did it was lots of fun. It is so nice to have a picture with all of our family in the picture. Usually it's Jimmy and the boys or me and the boys or just the boys.

I LOVE MY FAMILY!

I will post a few more pictures soon.

Halloween 2009

Here is a picture of my cute little trick or treaters. Hunter was so excited about his costume and Holden wasn't a big fan of his. The boys had a great time!!!

Now that Halloween is over it's time to plan Hunters 3rd birthday. I can't believe my little boy is turning three. So many things go through my mind when Hunters birthday comes around. It brings me right back into the delivery room and not knowing if our little boy was going to make it or not. Over three months of living in the Ronald McDonald house ( a great charity to give to by the way). It was a long hard three plus months, but we all made it though and made some great friends along the way (The Campbell's). A big thanks goes out to all of you that helped us when we needed it the most. I love you Hunter!!

My little pumpkins

Before Jimmy left for two weeks in Washington we took the boys to the local pumpkin patch. We had so much fun!!! I was still a little under the weather so we didn't stay as long as we would have liked. Hunter could have spent all day and night there. Holden was just along for the ride, but he did enjoy eating all the sticks he could find.

Me and my super cute boys

Our cute little family at grandma Reens in Fargo




Jimmy, me and the boys took a trip to ND and MN for my grandmas 80th birthday and my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. We all had such a great time. Hunter and Holden had a blast playing with cousins and grandmas and grandpas and great aunties and uncles. It was so nice to see my family. I miss them so much. Jimmy was a tropper and drove the whole way there (32 hours total) and back. He was a great babysitter so me and my mom and sister could get things done for the party. Thanks hunny!! I can't wait to go back again, but i think next time we are going to try the train and see how that goes.

Do they look alike????

So i've been told that Hunter and Holden look so much alike and i've also been told that they don't look alike at all. Just wondering what you all think. I think they look alike, but only a little. They both have the same Holden family ears and for some odd reason they both have blonde hair. I hoping it will darken up soon. I must say i have some pretty handsome little guys.

Holdens 6 months check up

Holden went into the dr. for his six month check up today and is doing wonderful. He has gained about three pounds and has grown 2 inches since his four month check up. He is by far our BIG baby, but i'm sure he's just normal to most people. I can't wait for the next six months with this little man. Holden has also start to crawl a little so now the baby gates must go up and everything must come off the floor.
